I've only ever had Mikey's during the week at lunch. Odd? Perhaps, but it's walking distance from my office and sometime you need a beer at lunch. Am I right?
I want to give it 4 stars but I can't do it....yet. It's a little too inconsistent in terms of food and service to warrant a solid 4 stars, but it does have potential.
Things they are good at:
Deep frying. Anything I've ever had that was deep fried from this place is good. The wings warrant special mention as they were huge and juicy. However, the "ranch" that accompanies them is a watery blue cheese ranch - not my thing. Dry ribs are also a winner.
Quesadillas. Have had it twice and it's a solid quesadilla.
Serving drinks.
Things they need to work on:
Speed of service. One server for the entire lunch rush is painful. I'm not sure if the kitchen is equally slow or if the time it takes to get my meal is because of the server.
Weird menu twists. It seems like all sauces and dressings have some sort of unique twist. Blue cheese ranch, I think the caesar salad dressing is made with dijon mustard or something else weird. Not my deal.
I do enjoy the One Way board - a tally of all the drivers that go the wrong way down the street in front of the pub. It's a solid place with no pretension and an excellent break from my office.
